the notes you have are excellent. becoming a good/great player is extremely dependant on picking up and noticing postflop tendencies of other players. so good job on that.

i think its possible he had AT here. often you'll have a preflop read that says "i saw him limp AA or KK". tahts important because you need to put that in his range of limping hands, but if he raises preflop, that doesn't mean he can't have AA or KK. often you need to keep an open mind and not stick entirely to your preflop reads.

i think you played the hand perfectly. i think i might check call the river.

never try and make such a "super" laydown here. as you said yourself, AK is extremely likely here. in limit holdem the pot is often wayyy too big to make a laydwon with a hand as strong as yours (ie, you'd only have to be right around 4% of the time here to make your river call correct)

good post. good luck and sorry if i lectured too much
